Hassle Free Mini Thanksgiving Desserts!

You’re already making a turkey, a pernil, and enough side dishes to feed your home state. Dessert shouldn’t have to be hard or time consuming! Keep it simple with these Hassle Free Thanksgiving Desserts!

OK, people – Gather ‘round. In two weeks we will be knee deep in turkey and stuffing or elbow deep in pernil grease and empanada meat. Yes, It’s Thanksgiving, folks! Round 1 of a non-stop eating marathon which ends when the ball drops at midnight on December 31st. A marathon which results in snug pants and a weight gain of no less than 6 pounds.

Don’t worry about it, come January you will renew that gym membership you avoided all year where you will work off least 3 of those pounds. This will last till February when you’re all “f*** this diet bullshit” and return to your nefarious ways. But that’s neither here nor there.

Allow me to redirect your focus to the topic at hand – Round 1: Thanksgiving. Your turkey is stuffed and rubbed in herb compound butter. Your pernil is marinating in that garlic secret sauce your mama makes, but won’t give you the recipe for. Your side dishes are prepped and ready for the oven or deep fryer. You’ve been waking up early for days to make a meal that will be consumed in no less than 35 minutes (5 if you’re a teenage boy). Everyone is expecting dessert, but quite frankly – You can’t deal with making one more dish – And you KNOW your homies are expecting more than one dessert.

I got you, boo. I’m going to hook you up with 8 Hassle Free Mini Thanksgiving Desserts. As the title suggests, these desserts are mini and no hassle. Most can be prepped in minutes and ahead of time. And best of all, they feed a crowd.

Flow with me…

Coquito Cheesecake Flan – This situation tastes JUST.LIKE.COQUITO with the added creaminess of cheesecake. The custard is whizzed in a blender making prep time a snap. Use mini ramekins or pie dishes. Or even mini silicon muffin tins for a creamy mini bite.

Double Chocolate Mousse Cups – Yeah, I said it – Double Chocolate!
